Nets Talk To Kids in NJ, BKLYN
by Net Income on Feb 12, 2012 3:56 PM EST
in Brooklyn
Email
PrintThe Nets will have the rare luxury of three days off this week (before embarking on another five games in six days). Monday, six of the Nets will be doing what has become commonplace nowadays: community events in both New Jersey and Brooklyn.
Anthony Morrow and Jordan Farmar will visit and sign autographs for patients at The Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center from 2:30 pm-3:30 pm.
As that event ends, Deron Williams, Kris Humphries, DeShawn Stevenson, and Mehmet Okur will lead a basketball clinic for more than 100 students at Brooklyn High School for Leadership and Community Service n the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. Nets employees will also offer a career counseling forum for the students.

why bother...
they’re gone next year and it wasn’t like a massive Newark fanbase was going to the games. It was people driving in from NJ and taking the train from NYC

Really?
How do you know this? Did you take a poll at the game? I’m interested to see how you came to this conclusion.
Atleast their having fun. Shelden Williams tweet:

Isn't it funny how we all say that?
Maybe it’s because it’s not real lol. They just say they do this stuff for good publicity…. it doesn’t actually happen. :)
Deron Williams, Kris Humphries, DeShawn Stevenson, and Mehmet Okur all injured themselves while attending a basketball clinic. They will stay there for indefinite period.

Apparently he talked to an owner
They said Dwight to Nets is 100% guarantee. He didn’t give any details so it’s hard to believe. Since he’s well known on the board i want to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I just want to know what his profession is lol. Elone, what do you do? How are you getting on the inside?
i think
he works for a pharmaceutical company. he said something like that during an L&P game last year

I didn't talk to an owner
I talked to someone who works for the owner, who isn’t a Nets “fan” just like local area sports, and he has heard the owner directly say Dwight will be a Net 100%.
I think we’re all starved for information and hope. This didn’t strike me as that big of a deal,

Good move by Nets
It’s the kids 20 and under who will be the most important part of your fanbase moving forward. They may not have the money now to be season ticket holders, but they will in the near future. These kids probably aren’t set in their sports allegiances just yet which is a bonus for the Nets moving forward in Bklyn.
D-Will > Carmela
Pretty much...
they are not going to have a loyal fan base for awhile. Might as well try to get them while there young. Especially since NY is Knick country, and only a handful might cross over to root for the Nets…maybe.
NY is a front running town though, so if the Nets start winning, NY’ers will go to the games. Not true fans though, just front runners, especially if the Nets can get D-Howard.
Your f'in kidding me ESPN, right?
Go look at the ESPN poll on their website and check out the choices… complete BS

So in one week Lin became better than Rondo, DWill, Westbrook, Jennings, Nash and many others?!? How disrespectful is ESPN.

Next weeks poll
“Who is the greatest athlete in the History of American sports”
-Michael Jordan
-Muhammad Ali
-Willie Mays
-Tim Tebow
-Jeremy Lin
by SovietBrooklyn on Feb 12, 2012 9:04 PM EST up reply actions
It's worse.
At least Tebow is arguably one of the greatest college football players of all time. Jeremy Lin is playing out of his mind and deserves praise for that, but he does not deserve this kind of praise, as usual these “experts” are getting caught up in the moment and let two weeks erase the work that these other point guards have done year after year.
They removed D-Will and substituted Lin instead
Simply incredible. I’ve got nothing to say.
D-Will > Carmela
because dwill plays for the Nets

I have no words. I hope the people that made and voted on this poll were kidding.

Off topic but this Jeremy Lin thing is getting ridiculous!!
Sportnation Question on ESPN home page:
Who is the best PG in the NBA?
a) Jeremy Lin (REALLY?!?!?) – 17%
b) Chris Paul – 24%
c) Rajon Rondo – 7%
d) Chris Paul – 46%
e) Someone else – 6%
WHAT A JOKE.
it was also the ESPN poll thing

Why are you hating?
He’s a player who’s risen to success (albeit temporary) after being overlooked (draft) and cut twice. And he’s really humble too.

I mean Rondo has a case but c’mon…
Damn Calderon dropped 30 on the Lakers
I think they trade Gasol for a point at the deadline but could be wrong.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
trade deadline will be interesting

didn't hear this...
Arenas recently underwent platelet-rich plasma therapy on his right knee in New York, a procedure like Bryant had done in Germany last summer. Other players have had the procedure in the past, including Tracy McGrady and most recently, Arenas’ good friend, New Jersey Nets’ guard DeShawn Stevenson.
He looked bad I remember watching him he had more trouble than Morrow finishing on the fast break
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
It's a good question
he’d be an excellent pick up for the vet minimum, but something tells me he won’t go for that.
Man I really hope we get this guy, and soon
Let’s just secure him and not leave any room for a team like Dallas to steal him away. I can’t wait for the day on netsdaily when there are fanposts about MLE candidates, who is going to take a paycut to play with Dwight and Deron, and our recent win streaks. Please let this happen!
